Use of TCP #31

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hello,

NFSv3 and NFSv2 classes (as INFS interface implementations) create the 
connection based on UDP transport protocol. Could it be possible to enable TCP 
as well (and also as setting in the GUI program)? If I change the protocol 
value in source, should it work correctly? Or is there any problem with that?

Thanks,
Jan

In my experience this is related to performance. I had been using Services For 
Unix 3.5 for many years, in different environments. Usually, if I let SFU be in 
default UDP mode, the client computer freezes from time to time - usually when 
opening explorer or the mounted drive. For this reason I change it to TCP the 
first thing after installation. I just tried NekoDrive, and observed the same 
behaviour: random freezes upon opening explorer or file-open dialogue, 
sometimes lasts 10 minutes. I ascribe this to lack of TCP support, although I 
could not reason why UDP would more likely to cause freezes. All testings are 
always done in LAN, with no latency problems.
